CH - Editing and sound

Since we completed filming last weekend, Rosie and I have been editing our film. We have encountered many problems, such as the loss of some footage due to technical issues and the need to refilm a difficult sequence. However, I think that we have dealt well with these issues, prevailing with a rough cut edit (as of this weekend) which includes all the necessary film in the order we intend to keep it in; at the moment, I'm very happy with our progress, as well as the overall aesthetic results we are achieving within Premiere.
Sound continues to be problematic. After consulting many fee- and copyright-free websites, we decided to create our own music taylor made for our film. I am about to rendezvous with the musician in question and take a preliminary recording using a Dictophone on loan courtesy of the school. As a group we have used this equipment to record the dialogue and further diegetic sound necessary for our piece; using a sound proof recording booth in school, Rosie and I voice-acted a series of variations and situations, that we had previously written, that could fit our film. These included a conversation between numerous characters, enacted utilizing many layers of sound (to indicate the presence of more than the two of us), and a monologue of the victim to be run over the chase sequence of film.
We also recorded many diegetic sounds to use for the montage we plan to create (see earlier posts), which included continual laughter which could be made intimidating by sound technology in Premiere. This was incredibly hard to do, as neither of us are professional actresses, and found it difficult to maintain the level of composure needed for our film to retain its credibility.
Once all the sound has been recorded, I plan to post it online as a composition piece (via Youtube) and will embed said video upon this blog at a later date.
